Reviews
-----------------------------------
"This Essex-based 5 piece are rising fast on the current wave of screamo."
Rock Sound Magazine
-----------------------------------
"Fei Comodo are post-hardcore dynamite. Ramming their screamo tendencies full of metal, their ace 'This One's For Us' EP has been bagging them gigs across the UK."
TOTAL GUITAR Magazine
-----------------------------------
"A slightly tongue in cheek screamo-by-numbers sound with all the right boxes ticked: Breakdowns? Check. Racing punk tempo? Check. Soaring heartfelt choruses that would have Charlie Manson welling up? Check. So with a burgeoning grass-roots following, and the support of MTV2 behind them, the quintet will no doubt be shifting units hand over (gloved) fist."
METAL HAMMER Magazine (Incoming)
-----------------------------------
"Jellied eeis aren't the only great things to come from Essex. Check Rob Clemson and his fast-rising screamo rockers..."
RHYTHM Magazine
------------------------------------
"What we have here is a four track EP with frankly some of the best produced post-hardcore tracks I've heard from a new band in a long while..."

A Different World
Fei Comodo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She ...
But there from the front row
She's watching the ocean.
IN A WORLD! "
They're from a different world" But if only she could see, The life that they lead, Behind these bright lights, It's not the high life at ALL...
It's not the lights on the stage or the glory, But the memories they may tell a story, It's just the beginning and only the willing can stand this fight.
And it might be ...
As long as they all know that you're coming here for the ocean.
WORLD! "
They're from a different world" But if only she could see, The life that they lead Behind these bright lights, It's not the high life at all...
That's not the high life, And if this was worth a fight Then I know and you know, This is all I'm fighting for And my friends of I'm sure ...
If fall of the world was to fall down and bury this sound We'll pick up the pieces and carry on.
If fall of the world was to fall down and bury this sound (from underground) We'll pick up the pieces and carry on (Until we are found) And we'll keep sending these messages (I'm sure some people will have their doubts)
But I know we're turning around We took some home to make it ...
The song A Different World by Fei Comodo is about a person who admires people on stage and thinks they live a life without any weight, all because they have the lights and the glory. This person, who is watching from the front row, doesn't realize that the life they lead behind these bright lights is not a high life at all. The song is trying to convey that people who seem to have it all and live a life of glamour often have to fight for it, and only the willing can stand that fight.
The main theme of the song is to encourage people to try and not give up on their dreams easily. The lyricist is trying to tell us that a lot of effort and struggle goes into achieving one's aspirations, no matter how much glamour we might see on stage. The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that even though some people are from a different world, that doesn't mean they should give up on reaching their goals.
The song is a reminder to stay true to oneself and to keep striving for what one desires, no matter how challenging it may seem. The lyricist is urging people not to give up on their dreams and to keep pushing through the hardships.

What an incredible loss to the music world - you will be missed you legends
Lee Ward
Real shame. Awesome band and great live. These guys and shadows chasing ghosts never got a deserved break. Great bands now gone but not forgotten.

This album is a fitting send off for such an amazing band. I look forward to seeing your future projects and will keep my fingers crossed that this isnt the end :)
PlayWithNiz
Top lads, the lot of them! What a great send off, emotional isn't the word! The best of luck to all of you!

This is their best song by far. It's not often that a band ends with their best stuff.

Saw these in Newcastle and the crowd was literally non existent :( Incredible gig though!
